3. Use Momentum as Confidence

The Carolina Hurricanes are one of the undefeated teams remaining in the National Hockey League right now. The Hurricanes have the most points, the most wins, and the most goals scored in the league right now. For the first time in franchise history, they are 5-0-0.

You know what’s better? 6-0-0. It can be done. They have went through five games, they vanquished three teams in a row; the Montreal Canadiens, Washington Capitals, and Tampa Bay Lightning, all teams people had doubts they could beat and all teams they pulled comeback victories on.

This team is loaded with depth, it’s loaded with talent, and it’s loaded with personalities, on top of a team personality that has fun things like the Storm Surge. All five times this team has went out, they won.

The Hurricanes have all the hype and momentum in the world now. The Columbus Blue Jackets need this win badly. In all four of their games, they have one overtime victory over the Buffalo Sabres. The other three, they got kicked around by the Toronto Maple Leafs, Pittsburgh Penguins, and… lost a tough one.. to the Anaheim Ducks… on home ice.

The Carolina Hurricanes will host the Columbus Blue Jackets at PNC Arena at 07:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, rocking their new white aways for the first whiteout in PNC! Make sure to dress in white or plan to wear the giveaway shirt. As it is a Saturday game, we all hope the Hurricanes win so obviously we can see a surge and get a nice hot free Chick-Fil-A sandwich on Monday in the Triangle Area.
